1. Enhanced focus on the creator economy and shifting web2 business models to the blockchain. Why?

   1. The value proposition for creators experimenting on the blockchain is starting to get hot . Some cool d-apps I’d like to point out are Unlock Protocol (token gated content), Mirror (what I’m using to write this), Manifold (power to the artist), Glass.xyz (video NFTs), Aave (your decentralized bank), and Ethereum Name Service (your web3 identity)

2. There will be hyper-focus on “how to on-board the next generation to the blockchain.” Why?

   1. Only ~1.8M people have made trades on OpenSea. We are nowhere near mainstream adoption

   2. Have you ever tried to set your friends up with a MetaMask?

3. People finally stop saying Wagmi / wgmi. Why?

   1. Cause they lied. Lol..

4. Moonbirds style projects will start to rise in popularity. This drop was the first crowdsourced VC raise via NFTs. Why?

   1. Numbers don’t lie

5. People will be talking about social lifestyle influencing through NFTs and how to properly introduce soul bound NFTs. Why?

   1. Because I said so…
